Koh Samui Sightseeing Tour Around The Island
Highlights
- Swim at a jungle waterfall
- 5-hour tour at a steady pace
- Departs from Koh Samui
- Travel insurance included
The day works through six stops on Koh Samui in a shared, air-conditioned minivan, starting at the island’s most recognised landmark: a 12-metre Big Buddha statue on a causeway-linked islet, locally believed to protect the island. Wat Plai Laem is next, a twenty-minute stop with views across the temple grounds.
Hin Ta and Hin Yai — Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks — follow: granite formations on Lamai Beach with a folk legend attached about an elderly couple lost at sea while arranging their son’s marriage. Wat Khunaram comes after, where a mummified monk is kept inside the temple; visitors can have a good-luck thread tied by a monk or a fortune read from bamboo sticks. Na Muang Waterfall 1, an 18-metre drop with a swimming pool at the base, is the other stop where getting in the water is an option, reached by a short walk from the car park.
Lad Koh Viewpoint (also called Zenith Viewpoint), between Chaweng and Lamai, rounds out the sightseeing with a panorama over the Gulf of Thailand before the drive back passes Bang Po Beach, a quieter four-kilometre stretch on the island’s northwest side.
Entrance fees are built into the price at five of the six stops: Big Buddha, Wat Plai Laem, Hin Ta and Hin Yai, Wat Khunaram, and Na Muang Waterfall all charge admission that’s covered in the tour cost. Lad Koh Viewpoint and the Bang Po Beach drive-by are both free to visit and don’t need a ticket.
Insider Tip: Lunch isn’t included on this tour — eat before the 5-hour route starts, or wait for a stop near Lamai where food options sit close to the parking area.
